CDC Reservation Update 📣

We’ve implemented a new CDC reservation system to streamline the process for travelers. While we anticipate a smooth transition, please allow additional time for responses as the system launches.

📅 Please note: No reservations are available before September 15, 2025 at this time.

🔹 Requests submitted prior to June 26th are still being processed.
🔹 For assistance or questions regarding your reservation, feel free to send us a direct message.
🔹 When submitting a new request, please make sure you’re using the CDC Reservation form, not our classic pet shipping form (we’ve marked them clearly to avoid confusion).

Thank you for your patience during this update!
